I'm playing it right now, and it seems quite fun. Couple of things I do wish they hadn't had in the game. The stupid mission timers. Why were these put in? It just seems like an extraordinary bad thing to put into a game, as it requires you to basically be an errand boy throughout the entire game. I don't mind doing fetch quests, I don't mind the escort missions. I mind facing down the psychos, as they can be a pill sometimes. But the stupid timers, without them, this game would be a lot easier.

Never played it. Got this one for a bargain. I rather like the story of Dead Rising 2, as I'm rather gripped by Chuck and Katey's story while at the same time there are obvious and blatant parodies of American culture.

It just struck me as a game with bad combat, bad level design and really bad mechanics. The only interesting part was the weapon modification, and it was a huge disappointment (and Dead Island did it better anyway).

Case Zero is an XBLA title that's a prologue that got released beforehand.Then DR 2 came out, blah blah blah.Then Case West, another XBLA title that is the epilogue.Then they made Off the Record, which is DR2 except Frank West from DR1 is the main character and Chuck is an enemy.

I got Dead Rising 2 dirt cheap and Dead Island GOTY dirt cheap. Played DR2, but as mentioned, the mission timers are a pain in the arse and I never picked it up again. Dead Island on the other hand, I've only played to the main lifeguard station but seems far more enjoyable. At least in the first Dead Rising you could ignore the other mall inhabitants and leave them to die and the game didn't stop. Dead Island just seems far more enjoyable as a game and not a chore.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

I played some the other day, and it does shit no other zombie game does properly. Deformable zombies where you can tear their flesh off bit by bit or burn their skin off? Coops where all bad guys have appropriate levels for all players simultaneously? Difficulty curve so even at level 50 you can die in three hits? Being able to kick someone in the head so hard they sail backwards until a gutter rips their feet off, at which point they spin around and their head pops in the ground? Outrageously terrible accents?
